In this report, we explore the relationship between student wellbeing, school engagement, and academic achievement.

The aim of the WEC is to help teachers, school leaders and policy makers better understand and support the wellbeing and engagement of their students.

The goals of the current study were to identify different trajectories of sadness from Grade 6 to 9 in Australian school students, and to explore the role that social support from school, teachers, friends and families play in supporting students’ mental health.

It has been well established that children's development at school entry is associated with their later academic achievement, but less is known about whether there is also an association with other measures of school success, such as students' social and emotional wellbeing.
